Chapter 2480 Emperor, what does he want?
"By that time, it won't matter who you belong to."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun's face turned pale and he immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, please don't do this!"
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
Xue Yun bit his lower lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally said softly: "Maybe, maybe, it might be my mother."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Mrs. Xue?"
"……yes."
"She also came to Yan Country."
"yes."
"Why would she do that?"
“She, she…”
Xue Yun stuttered and couldn't speak.
In fact, she had vaguely guessed from the beginning that the person cooperating with Chen Lianxiang in this matter might be her mother. After all, her mother had been very eager to let her enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine. However, she didn't know when her mother got in touch with Chen Lianxiang.
However, when I think of what my mother said, I am too embarrassed to say it out loud.
And she hasn't been asked clearly yet. If she confesses everything, it will be difficult for her.
But Zhu Feng refused to relax at all and stared at her intently.
He said in a deep voice: "Why, there is something you can't say?"
“…”
"If you can't tell me, then we can only ask the Ministry of Justice to get it out of Chen Lianxiang, and then ask your mother."
"No! No!"
Xue Yun was shocked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will tell you everything."
Zhu Feng said in a deep voice: "Why?"
“…”
"She is just the old lady of the Xue family in Bailong City and has no connection with Yan Country. Why did she get involved in this matter?"
Xue Yun gritted his teeth and whispered, "Because, because of her, she hopes that I can establish a relationship with the emperor."
"Get in touch?"
These four words made Zhu Feng frown slightly.
But immediately, he understood.
As a woman, it seems that she has no other choice but to have a relationship with the emperor.
Zhu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "She wants you to enter the palace and become my concubine?"
"……yes,"
After answering this word in a low voice, Xue Yun immediately said: "But Your Majesty, this is absolutely not my wish. I, your humble servant, have never thought of entering the palace to be a concubine."
“…”
Zhu Feng glanced at her and said nothing.
Xue Yun seemed to realize that what he said was a bit strange, as if he had offended the emperor, but looking at the emperor's expression, he did not seem to be offended, so he hesitated for a moment.
The two of them fell silent, and the atmosphere in the imperial study became a little awkward.
After a while, Zhu Feng said, "Why would she have such an idea?"
Xue Yun's ears turned red. He lowered his head and said shamefully, "My mother's lifelong wish was to preserve the family fortune, so she allowed me to disguise myself as a man. But now, I'm getting older, and it's time for a man to start a family and build a career. My relatives are coveting the family fortune and are all eyeing my marriage. Mother wants to resolve this matter once and for all."
“How to solve it?”
Xue Yun stammered and told Wei's plan.
Zhu Feng frowned when he heard this.
Even though he was in the royal family and was used to life-and-death struggles, Wei's plan was really too vicious.
Given Xue Yun's compassionate nature as a doctor, he probably wouldn't agree.
So he said, "You don't want to?"
Xue Yun immediately said, "Of course, sacrificing innocent lives to secure the safety of our family business is something that even my father in heaven would not be able to rest in peace."
Zhu Feng seemed to understand something and said coldly, "So, your mother has set her sights on me?"
“…”
"I'll make you my concubine and move your Xue family's assets from Bailong City to Yan Country."
“…”
"With the status of royal relatives, your family business will not only be preserved, but will also be able to go further than in White Dragon City, right?"
"……yes."
"So, your mother must have used some method to get in touch with Chen Lianxiang."
"……yes."
Zhu Feng's eyes flashed coldly as he said, "Chen Lianxiang knows that the Imperial Concubine will not tolerate you, so she wants to drug you and me. Once this is done, it will inevitably anger the Imperial Concubine, and then she will have an opportunity to take advantage of you. However, she can't touch you, let alone enter my imperial study, so she can only start with the people around you."
“…”
"And your mother wanted you to enter the palace as a concubine. The two of them had the same goal, so they cooperated."
Xue Yun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, this is all due to my mother's confusion. Please don't kill her. I am willing to take the punishment on my mother's behalf."
“…”
Zhu Feng looked at her coldly and said, "If I really wanted to kill her, I wouldn't waste my time talking to you."
“……!”
Xue Yun was startled and looked up at him: "Then, the emperor is——"
Zhu Feng said coldly: "Let your mother come to the palace immediately. I have something to say to her."
"ah?"
Xue Yun's heart sank.
Even though she had lived a life of uncertainty in Bailong City for the first half of her life, after arriving in Yan Country and working as an imperial physician for these days, she knew too well that the imperial power was divinely granted and inviolable, and that touching the emperor's reverse scale would result in death without a burial place.
As for Wei, she was probably used to being the head of the Xue family. She had no government or royal family to pressure her for most of her life, so she didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at all.
She was so bold as to drug the emperor. You know, this crime of disrespect is enough to chop off her head.
But Zhu Feng just said that he would not kill her.
But even if she is not killed, I am afraid this matter will not end well.
I just don’t know what Zhu Feng’s plan is.
Thinking of this, she looked up at him worriedly. Somehow, she seemed to feel that there was something hidden in Zhu Feng's eyes.
However, before she could think carefully, Zhu Feng said coldly, "Come here."
Eunuch Yu immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
"What are your Majesty's orders?"
Zhu Feng said, "Send someone to Doctor Xue's residence immediately and ask her mother to come to the palace. I want to see her."
“…”
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yu was also slightly stunned.
Although he was not clear about what had happened, Doctor Xue had just been implicated in the incident of Shen drugging the woman. Now, the emperor suddenly wanted to see her mother. He was afraid that Madam Xue was involved in the drugging incident.
So he immediately said, "I will do it right away."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Zhu Feng said to Xue Yun, "Go back to the Imperial Hospital first."
Xue Yun was stunned again.
Zhu Feng summoned her mother to the palace but did not allow her to be present. Could it be that they were going to say something that she was not allowed to know?
She could only stand up, salute, and walk out silently.
When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back and looked into Zhu Feng's extremely deep eyes. She felt a chill rising from her heart and shuddered suddenly.
Emperor, what do you want?
